Bar Color script using Else condition since Brushes.Empty is n/a

[zeller4]

Hello,
With a simple script in NT7 to color bars but allow default colors to remain

if (ColorBars) BarColor = (_signal[0] == 1 ? Color.White : _signal[0] == -1 ? Color.Black : Color.Empty);

What is the new method in NT8 to allow default color to remain for the else condition since Color.Empty (ie Brushes.Empty) is not available?

Hello zeller4,

Thank you for your note.

Would Brushes.Transparent work for what you're trying to do?

I look forward to your reply.

Not if I'm still trying to see the unaffected bar up/down color and outline...

Hello zeller4,

If you want the original bar color to remain unchanged, don't set it. For example the code below will only set the BarBrush to yellow if the close on this bar is greater than the last, otherwise the color will remain unchanged.

if(Close[0]>Close[1])
BarBrush = Brushes.Yellow;
